Bird Trails - Capertee Valley
|
|
Below
are some notes provided by the Capertee Valley Tourism Group for the
"pull off" areas along the Dunnes / Capertee Valley Discovery Trail.
.
The
bridge on Genowlan Road for the Regent Honey Eater and around the
Glen Alice Church and community hall are also good areas.
|
|
Also
dams along both roads are not bad for a variety of birds.
The
Glen Alice Road has yet to be looked at.
